Karen Guerra | 3 comments I read Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng, so happy I gave it a chance ⭐⭐⭐⭐

message 54: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Pennington | 10 comments I read Almanac of the Dead by Leslie Marmon Silko. It’s about two Pueblo twin sisters who inherit a notebook from their grandmother, but also it’s about the colonial inheritance everyone in the Americas has today. (763 pages and 70+ characters so not for the faint of heart!)


message 55: by Katie (new)

Katie | 57 comments I read My Grandmother sends her regards & apologises by Fredrick Backman


message 56: by Justin (new)

Justin Travis | 1 comments I just finished reading My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She’s Sorry by Fredrik Backman, in which a young girl inherits a quest (and much more) upon her granny’s passing.


message 57: by Angela (new)

Angela (bookangel2) | 15 comments I read News of the World by Paulette Jiles, shortly after seeing the film, which I enjoyed immensely. I hadn't read it with the challenge prompts in mind, but one of the sub plots involves Captain Kidd's daughters and their rights to the land they inherited from their mother. Really liked this book!

Djuna Franzén | 1 comments I just read On the Beach which is one book that comes up on the Goodreads list for this.
And I am utterly confused, since I do not recall any inheritance in the book. ;D

I read the book last year and I agree with you but...(view spoiler) I personally wouldn't have put this book in this list but I have noticed a lot of the Goodreads lists are bad. especially the typographic cover list.

Travel with Books (travelwithbooksdaily) The First Shot by Liv Constantine (prequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish), an inheritance plays a big part in the ending of this book. Fun read!

message 62: by Gerry (new)

Gerry Durisin | 69 comments The Violin Conspiracy by Brendan Slocumb I chose Bendan Slobomb's The Violin Conspiracy for this prompt, and loved it in audiobook format, which supplemented the engrossing story with some beautiful musical interludes.


message 63: by GailW (new)

GailW (abbygg) I read a delightful book called Thale's Folly by Dorothy Gilman. The author also wrote among her numerous books, the Emily Pollifax series.

5 stars


message 68: by Anna (new)

Anna (annafrommontana) | 413 comments I read The Fellowship of the Ring. I have wanted to read this series for years, thanks to this challenge (and the high fantasy prompt) I am finally reading the series. I loved it and can't wait to start Two Towers.

Melissa Harre | 12 comments I just finished "The Inheritance Games" By Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Clara | 122 comments Inheritance A Memoir of Genealogy, Paternity, and Love by Dani Shapiro
Inheritance: A Memoir of Genealogy, Paternity, and Love by Dani Shapiro 5 stars
The story of a woman's search for her identity after discovering her father is not her biological father. Excellent.

One of the best take-aways from this book is when they say you cannot judge the past by the present. You have to look at it thru the culture and technology of the time it took place. Something too many have forgotten.


message 73: by Kay (new)

Kay (bookseller1959) | 34 comments The Sense of an Ending - Julian Barnes


message 74: by Tanya (new)

Tanya (taztamaranth) | 76 comments in my Victoria Goddard rabbithole experience -- I read 10 novels by her, more or less without breaks! -- I found Whiskeyjack which features Jemis Greenwing's inheritance from his lost father.


message 75: by Denise (new)

Denise | 554 comments Fifty Words For Rain by Asha Lemmie is about the inheritance of the entire family line and who should be allowed to get it. Story of the daughter of Japanese royalty and her African American GI lover and the lengths her family will go through to "hide" her and not "taint" the family by inheriting the royal name and palaces

Haley | 202 comments The Keeper of Lost Things by Ruth Hogan
The Keeper of Lost Things by Ruth Hogan
I gave it a 3/5 but really it was more 3.5. Not something I would pick up and read for myself, but it came highly recommended and I truly enjoyed the experience.


✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧ Bini's  Era ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧ (ninalovelylehman) | 18 comments finally finished The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo today and it's a touching story


message 81: by Amy (new)

Amy | 50 comments I read The Testament by John Grisham. My husband recommended it and I thought it was a snooze, but I got through it.

Guylou (Two Dogs and a Book) | 108 comments Weyward by Emilia Hart

Accidental Tryst - Natasha Boyd - Audible Plus


message 86: by Shari (new)

Shari Kirtland (sharikirtland) | 3 comments Mother Knows Best by Serena Valentino

A unique version of Mother Gothel’s origin story. Loved this! It made me feel somewhat sorry for her.

Sharon Honeycutt (snlhoneycutt) | 22 comments Big Stone Gap by Adriana Trigiani


message 89: by Carol (new)

Carol (cquan01) | 588 comments I read Banyan Moon. 5 stars!


message 90: by Laura (new)

Laura Belluscio Williams  | 1 comments I just finished Killers of the Flower Moon, which is going to also be a movie. I can entirely see why.


message 91: by Kerri (new)

Kerri | 159 comments I read Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier back in January. It was the perfect read for the intense week of storms we were having back then. I originally posted this to a A Book About secrets but feel it is a better fit here.


message 92: by Clara (new)

Clara | 122 comments Inherit the Wind The Powerful Courtroom Drama in which Two Men Wage the Legal War of the Century by Jerome Lawrence
Inherit the Wind: The Powerful Courtroom Drama in which Two Men Wage the Legal War of the Century by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee

I borrowed this from the library thinking it was about the Scopes Trial and found it is only based on that but is actually fiction -- a play. I'm using it anyway. I think I've done pretty well with only 1 of 103 so far being fiction.


message 93: by Kim (new)

Kim Silbar | 57 comments "Fairy Tale" by Stephen King. Had this on TBR with no idea it fit the challenge.
